Spenser Lecture Illuminates Faerie Queene In Steinert Hall

The second H Bernard Carpenter lecture on Edmund Spenser and the Faerie Queene was given in Steinert Hall with Douglas Sladen present. The speaker traced Spenser’s life in a London rich with religion and spectacle, his Pembroke tutor Gabriel Harvey, and his rise through connections to Leicester Sidney and Raleigh. He argued the work is national but not epic, spanning literary and political strains while praising the Spenserian stanza and noting Spenser’s influence on Milton and Keats. The audience listened intently to remarks on Spenser’s Irish sojourn and the imaginative reach toward a future fairy land.
